One of the problems I face in teaching ELA is that most apps are not specific for my subject, they are either general production apps or for content like math. That is the interesting thing about Language Arts, it's not really a content per se but a vehicle to understand other materials. Yes, there are some literary Structures that you can learn,but for the most part, if your learn to read and write with thoughtfulness you can learn anything.

That said, I ran across the great article today on the edsurge website that had some great explanations of some tools just for language arts classes.

I have seen Subtext before and I even think I have it as an edmodo app, but I haven't put it to use yet. I'm going to give it a try when school starts again. I also like the 2 book selection apps, but my one concern is the amount of logins for students. There is starting to be someconfusion about which app to use for what.
